Carrot puree is a rich and very healthy food, provides the baby with large doses of vitamins and minerals indicated for its development. But we must keep in mind that this food must be administered sparingly If we do not want the baby's skin to turn an orange-yellow color.
The explanation is simple, carrots are rich in carotene, a substance that although present in numerous fruits and vegetables, is more noticeable in this tuber. The baby manifests that excess carotene especially in the soles of the feet and in the palms of the hands, in some cases something more extreme can also be perceived in his face. This is not bad for the baby's health, but for its appearance, in addition, a yellowish or orange baby can cause the suspicion that it has an excess of bilirubin, although this is easily detectable since when bilirubin is present, the white of the eyes turns yellow while with an excess of carotene in the body as a result of excessive consumption of vegetables, the white of the eyes is not altered.
Excessive consumption, even if it is of healthy and beneficial foods, also has risks, everything must be administered to the appropriate extent. If the case occurs in which the baby's skin changes to orange, it is enough to reduce the consumption of carrots so that it returns to its natural state, although depending on the incidence it may take a couple of months.
